Introduction

The Guided Data Onboarding documentation assumes you are familiar with the Splunk software. If you are new to using Splunk Enterprise or to Splunk Cloud, see the Additional Resources topic in this manual.

To complete the tasks described in this manual, you must have the following:

AWS account prerequisites

In order to set up your AWS configuration to work with your Splunk Platform deployment, make sure you have the following AWS account privileges:

A valid AWS account with permissions to configure the AWS services that provide your data.

Permission to create IAM roles and users. This lets you set up accounts or EC2 IAM roles with the ability to collect data from your AWS services.

AWS region limitations

The Splunk Add-on for AWS supports all services offered by AWS in each region. To learn which geographic regions around the world support which AWS services, see the
region table on the AWS global infrastructure page.

In the AWS China region, the add-on only supports the services that AWS supports in that region. For an up-to-date list of what products and services are supported in this region, see the AWS Products page.

Network configuration requirements

Splunk platform requirements

All Splunk platform requirements apply to the Splunk software that you use to run this add-on.

To run this add-on entirely in Splunk Cloud, there are no additional Splunk platform requirements.

To manage on-premise heavy forwarders to get data into Splunk Cloud, see System Requirements in the Installation Manual in the Splunk Enterprise documentation, which includes information about forwarders.

To run this add-on in an on-premises deployment of Splunk Enterprise, see System Requirements in the Installation Manual in the Splunk Enterprise documentation.
